Georgia judge orders Fani Willis to release documents

A Georgia judge has ordered Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to release 212 pages of documents related to her communications with federal prosecutor Jack Smith. The judge criticized Willis for initially denying the existence of these records. Judge Robert C.I. McBurney's ruling follows a lawsuit by Judicial Watch, which sought access to records regarding the investigation into Donald Trump. The judge noted that Willis had revised her claims about the records after multiple searches. This order comes after a federal judge previously mandated the release of Smith's communications with Willis concerning the 2020 election investigation. Judicial Watch has been pursuing information about federal assistance related to the case.
